A single-function shower head is often the better daily choice when one well-designed spray covers the tasks you actually perform. A multi-function head earns its extra mechanism when its settings deliver meaningfully different coverage or rinsing power and you can switch between them easily.

Black material on a shower head is not automatically mold. It may be a surface film, manganese staining, deteriorating rubber, activated carbon from a filter, pipe debris or damage to the finish. Wipe the dry face with white tissue, collect particles with the head removed, compare cold and hot water, then check another fixture. Those four observations tell you whether to clean the face, replace a hose or washer, inspect the hot-water system, or contact the water supplier.
